The western fandom is vast and diverse and here at the nexus of all things weird we will chat about any and everything western related. This week on Weird West Radio: Texas Rising Edition: We breakdown and discuss episodes 3,4,5. Also a discussion on whether or not the show would be better as a long term series rather than a mini-series. Texas Rising is a 2015 History Channel 10-hour television miniseries based on the Texas Revolution against Mexico and how the Texas Rangers were created. It is directed by Roland Joffé and premiered on May 25, 2015. The series stars Bill Paxton, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Ray Liotta, Brendan Fraser, Olivier Martinez and Cynthia Addai-Robinson.
